On February 19, 2025 Ferguson wrote an X post implying that President Donald Trump doesn't support sovereignty as strongly as former President George H.W. Bush. Vice President J.D. Vance took it upon himself to reply, calling Ferguson's post "moralistic garbage.A[4] In the post, J.D. strongly argued that President Trump's realism exposes the bloated, unrealistic Ukraine aid efforts, while Ukraine's path to victory was always and remains a fantasy. J.D. asserted that persisting in the disastrous war was bad for everyone, especially America.[5][6]
